Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
whether or not the proposed development would provide appropriate developer contributions, with particular regard to securing a contribution towards transport infrastructure
whether or not the proposed development would be secured as a car-free development
the effect of the proposal on the Epping Forest Special Area of Conservation (SAC)
whether or not the appeal site is suitable for the conversion into two dwellings, with particular regards to the supply of family housing
the effect of the proposal on the public highway with particular regard to the suitability of the submitted Outline Construction Logistics Plan
whether or not the proposed development would provide adequate waste storage facilities

What decided it

The failure to secure required developer contributions for transport infrastructure and Epping Forest SAC mitigation through a legal agreement, combined with the lack of biodiversity net gain and car-free status, created substantial conflicts with the development plan that outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
